GD and PI strategy should start with Reading English newspapers, magazines, opinions, General Knowledge stuffs etc. It depends on the college that you are targeting for.

For IIMs and Top 20 Private Bschools the level of GD and PI is definitely very very high.

Generally people do not realize that GD is a simulation of an actual Board Room meeting in a company where Executives sit and brainstorm for an idea.

And students make a fish market out of it.

Many a times the panel rejects the whole batch for doing so.

So the strategy is simple put forward your ideas in such a way that you can help others as a team to reach forward to some conclusion.

Make sure to give atleast 4-5 ideas in favour or against the topic and head forward for a midway solution.

For PI prepare very well a few subjects of your Bachelor degree or if you have workex be very clear about your roles responsibilities and your Company.

Also prepare for GK for current events by reading editorials and opinions from newspapers

Be very clear about your SOP and your life goals for joining a college before sitting in an interview.

Otherwise you will be grilled and finished off.

This much will generally suffice.

Hope this answers your query. Work hard and do well.

All the Best.
